HOG PRODUCTS.
There has been more interest taken in
pork and lard during the week, the former
being notably conspicuous in speculative
circles. After moderate advance in
price, however, there was noticeable
withdrawal Of demand on the part of
the larger operators at Chicago; in
fact, it was believed that some of them
had sold short very largely. This
induced reversal of the previous move
ment of prices aud reaction was the
result. The decline in receipt OF hogs
continues TO be one of oft-quoted props
to the bull side OF the market, together
with the growth of the foreign as well as
the home demand. Western steam lard
closes at Sc So bid, in moderate demand.

portant matter discussed ut the meeting,
there was q general diversity OF opinion,
Some of the delegates favored the adoption
ofanew one. while many others were Ofthe
opinion that the old one should bere-aflirm-
ell. All, however, agreed that the question
would he an all important one; that 1t
would he thoroughly discussed in all its
various phases before any definite action

with a reporter, expressed the belief that
the old constitution would be reatirmed,
and that Powderly would be again re-
elected General Master Workman.
This talk about Powderly resIgnlng Is
all bosh," said he. 1t is like the talk
we hear about his being i'll, etc. He's nc
more i'll than | am, and has no idea Of re-
signing and is surely a candidate for the
office again"

NEW YORK, October IA reporter ask
ed Hon. Charles Il. Farwell, U. 5. Senator
from Illinois, who reached the city last
evening en- route to Europe, what he
thought of President Cieveland's trip TO
the West.
lie replied that he thought we'll Ofit,and
that the President would be well received
by all classes without distinction of party.
He had made 4 good administration, and
it was not his fault if no settled policy rs
TO the finances had been carried out, but
the fault of his party in Congress.
"WhO do You think" asked the re
porter, will get the Republican nominal
tom"
personally" replied the Senator,
without hesitation, 81 should like to see
Judge Gresham or John Sherman head the
Republican ticket. There would be some
satisfaction in supporting 4 candidate OF
such high character. The personal ikings
should have nothing to do with il; the Re
publican party has been divided and 1t Is
confronted with the fact that Mr.. CIeVe-
land, who has made n good executive, Will
be the candidate of the Democratic party.
The contest will be settled here III the
State OF New York, and this fact ought to
make the Republicans more prudent than
they were in 1884"

of Alex Patton had a bad cut on the back

cut and bruised about the face. Others
were painfully, but none dangerously In

ROMNEY, October 1.-The trial OF Ann
Offner, one of the most famous in the GRIM
inal annals OF Hampshire county, was
clos,d here to-day by the disagreement of
the Jury, ten being in favor OF acquittal
and two of conviction After being out
thirty-six hours the jury reported them
selves unable to agree and the Judge dis
charged them.
The trial has attracted general attention.
The murder was one of the boldest and
surrounded by the most peculiar circum-
stances ofauy recorded in the criminal his
tory of the State. On a bright Sunday
morning this whole community WAS
shocked by the news that Ann Ottner
had shot and killed her paramour,
The child of highly respected parents,
the defendant in the case, a young woman
of progressing appearance, had fallen
victim TO the deceit of Brooks. Tricked
by him into an illegal marriage, she was
subjected to the cruellest treatment on the
part of her deceiver. Driven by his perSe-
rutionS she finally left him and returned
to her father, where she was living when
she went to bring the cows, and shot
Brooks, as she claimed, in selfdefenSe.
The evidence showed that Brooks was
fired upon by some one mounted on a horse,
and WAS killed instantly. The prisoners
suasrings have won for her the sympathy
OF many friends. The hope was almost
universal that she would he acquitted. A
touching scene was enacted in the court
room, when the aged father of Ann OffneT
appeared upon the stand to testify in his
daughters behalf. The old man could
hardly compose himself to give his testi-
mony. His evident sutferings under the
trying ordeal affected thespectatOrs deeply.
The result Of the cas-, will necessitate a
q new trial, which the attorneys for the
defense confidently claim will end in the
acquittal of the fair prisoner.

British YACHTSHEN HOPEFUL
OF Winning the Americas Cup, but Not This
Year.

GLASGOW, October 1.-Mr. Muir, Of
Dumbarton, the owner of the yacht Mabel,
has determined to build a ninety-ton cut-
tel to compete for the Americas cup in
America next year, unless Mr.. Bell again
challenges for it.
The designer of Mr. Muir's boat will be
Mr.. Fife, Jr., of Fairlee, and Capt. Robert
Duncan, of Courock, now master of the
Maiorie and formerly master of the Madge,
will be her captain.
The Times says: at is now perfectly
clear that if we do beat the Americans in
their own waters aud bring back the cup,
we must condescend TO take a leaf ont of
their book"
The Chronicle says: The result OF the
race is decisive. We must accept our de-
feat with good grace"
The Daily Telegraph says: THE Thistle
was beaten handsomely on her merits.
The Volunteer is the swifter ship all
around. The triumph stamps New York
builders as at present III superiOrs and
teachers in the art of designing fast craft"
The Standard admits that the Thistle
was fairly beaten, but doubts whether the
result represents the Thistle's real form.
An examination of the Thistle's bottom,
the Standard says, will likely throw some
light on the problem.

LOUISVILLE, KY, September 3O.-A
special from London, Ky, gives the par
ticuldrS of q swindle worked by an Al
bany, N. Y, party upon Basil Cornett and
J. u. Baker, of that locality.
Recently they received a circular in
which it was stated that for 800 of any
good circulating medium they would be
furnished with $4,000 in bills which
would pass anywhere. If they should have
any doubt it wa suggested that they come
to Albany in person and Judge for them
selves.
Mr.. Baker accepted the latter PROPOSE
ton and proceeded thither. He said the
party shOweda trunk full of money, and
explained that the bills were duplicates
of regular [. :. Treasury notes.
A trade tor sic, 900 was made aud the
amounts packed into a box and handed to
Baker, who paid 5000 in cash with the
understanding that $500 more was TO be
paid when the box was received through
the express Office.
When he aud his companion opened the
box which he had seen packed and had in
person expressed, it contained a good hard
brick. The two greenics consulted a law-
yer and a suit was filed, and the 800 at.
tached in the hands Of the express com
pany.

Angry Crowds Preparing To Lynch a Negro
FIend-A Horrible Deed.
NEW YORK, October IAN Atlanta
special says: At the emphatic instance
of the enraged citizens of Rome, Ga, bluff
old Judge Lynch will convene a night
session of his extraordinary court and
afirnatively rule upon the privilege of
the populace to informally "gibbet on a
brutal negro named Johnson. The invol-
untary candidate for such a sudden dis
p~osition is a Lieutenant in the Salvation
Army barracks at that place. The negro
on Wednesday afternoon visited the resi-
dence of q man named McCiinnis, III For
e~stville, and succeeded in enticing
McGinnis' pretty little seyen-year-
old daughter to accompany him TO the
woods, near the house, on a preteXt oil Sc
curing her some pretty birds. When they
got we'll into the woods the brute took ad-
vantage of her helplessneSs. The child
returned home later and informed her par
ents Of her experience, and Immediately q
party was organized to capture the negro.
When the officers visited the Salvation
Army barracks to secure him they found
him kneeling on a platform and praying
aloud. They permitted him to conclude
his solemn entreaty and then conducted
him TO the Jail.

Fires 10 Shells in 10 Miuutes-A Formid-
able Engine of Warfare.
NEW YORK, October Further expert
ments in target practice with the pneu-
matte dynamite gun were made yesterday.
They were undertaken to settle the ques-
ton whether apidity of fire could be COM
bined with accuracy. The result showed
that ten shells, each carrying So pounds of
the explosive gelatine, could be discharged
in ten minutes and thirty seconds, and
that while four of the prjectiles failed in
the matter of range, going over or falling
short, the remaining six would have
struck within the space of six yards on the
side of a ship. The trial shot with a
heavier shell, one corresponding to a
charge of one hundred pounds of explosive
gelatine, was fired for range, and the pro-
~jectile was sent 10 a distance of two and a
half miles with an initial pressure Of less
than one thousand pounds.
